The Atlanta Braves are ready to kick off a new season after almost six months of preparation. Their first game of the year is scheduled to take place in Philadelphia on Friday afternoon, following a rain delay that pushed back Thursday’s game. The team is determined to surpass their last year’s achievements, having won 104 games in the season but ultimately falling to the Phillies in Game Four of the NLDS. This season, they are aiming for an even better performance and reaching the World Series.
As they get set for their opening day game, Braves pitcher Spencer Strider emphasized the importance of evaluating oneself honestly and striving for greatness. Pitcher A.J. Minter highlighted the high standards the team holds itself to, stating that their ultimate goal is nothing less than a World Series title. While fans can show their support from home at an opening day block party at the old Atlanta Fulton County Stadium starting at 3:00pm, featuring live music, food and drinks from local restaurants, performances and more.
The first pitch of the game is set for 3:05 p.m., marking the beginning of what promises to be an exciting season for the Atlanta Braves as they embark on their journey towards achieving their goal of winning a World Series title.
